Arthur Hayes, CEO of BitMEX has confirmed the liquidation of Short positions of Bitcoin Futures to the value of 230 million US dollars. This happened apparently within 15 minutes. He also said that the price of Bitcoin would fall after a brief Rally, and made further predictions of the future.

Bitcoin, Futures, ETF and the price of Bitcoin — the possible relationships of these three important factors in the Ecosystem we discussed recently in detail. Also, that at the time of the sudden pumping of over 10 percent and the rising Bitcoin price expired just futures contracts for the leading crypto-currency. In a video post on CNBC Arthur Hayes confirmed that BitMex have resolved within 15 minutes Short positions of Bitcoin Futures with a total value of 230 million US dollars. Here you can establish quite a connection to the rise in the Bitcoin price, but must also keep in mind that the sum, compared with the current 24-hour trading volume, bitcoin, which is 3.4 billion dollars, can’t keep up.

Nevertheless, BitMEX is the only Futures provider. In a Tweet from the 20. July, the CME Group confirmed a rapid rise of the popular futures contracts, which can be used to bet on the Price trend:
